Hey guys! So, I've been reading a lot of Clato stories and also seen some stories about people getting married against their will kinda thing. So I decided to do something along those lines. Anyway, enjoy =)
Ok a little background time. Cato was the victor of the 73 Hunger Games ( I know he was in the 74 but I also like Katniss and Peeta and didn't want to kill them off), Clove hasn't gone into the games yet and still trains in the academy. Clove's Aunt ( Clove's mother's twin sister) is sick and Clove's parents can't pay to treat her. So lets see what happens… On another note this story may switch from 3rd person P.O.V to Clove's P.O.V
Clove woke up to her alarm clock blaring in her ears. She always got up at 5 so that she could get ready and leave for training in peace. Clove walked over to her closet and grabbed a black tank top along with a pair of loose black yoga shorts. She tiptoed down the stairs and silently entered the kitchen while pulling her hair up into a tight ponytail. As usual, the kitchen was dark and empty. She quickly fixed herself some cereal and then afterwards finished getting ready. At 5:30 she was out the door and on her way to the center.
" Stop right there Clove!", Clove smirked at the voice and looked over her shoulder. A few yards away was her best friend, Megan, standing there with her arms crossed. Clove and Megan had been best friends since they could walk. The two were like sisters, always together.
" Don't tell me you were planning on leaving without me!", she yelled with a smile growing on her face.
" Just on my way to get you.", Clove answered playfully.
"Oh really now? Well then Clove you either have a horrible sense of direction or you must've gotten lost cause my house id in the other direction." replied surpassingly while pointing behind her. The girls laughed and began walking to the training center.
" Still up for the usual NCIS marathon at our hangout tonight?", Megan asked as the two entered the training center.
" Of course. Its tradition.", Clove answered thinking of their hangout. It was a work of art. When the two were little, they found a small abandoned mine that was once used to gather metal. It was underground and the entrance was in the woods by the training center. The two had turned it into their hangout and even set up a TV in there to watch movies and their favorite shows. Clove still doesn't know how she got the TV to work but then again since Megan was the one who got it working she didn't really want to know.
The day at the center went by uneventfully. Megan and Clove walked back to Clove's house and found Clove's parents sitting in the living room. Megan and Clove shared as Clove's parents looked up.
" Megan, we need to speak with Clove little bit. Could you girls hang out another time.", Clove's father asked. Clove's mother just sat their and nodded, agreeing with her husband. Megan nodded and shot Clove a 'good luck' glance and left.
" Mom, Dad?", Clove asked a little bit annoyed and a little bit worried at what they had to say to her.
" Clove, sit down.", her mother gestured to an empty recliner. Clove complied and sat in the chair.
" Clove, you know your aunt has been in the hospital for quite awhile and you know we can't help pay for her medicine.", Clove's father began. Clove nodded her head but showed no emotion whatsoever.
" We have arranged for you to marry the most recent Victor. In exchange, your aunt will be taken care of.", her mother stated bluntly.
Clove's head shot up and rage began to course through her veins. So to save her aunt they were just going to give her away? To someone she didn't even know? She wasn't just some doll that could just be used and given away like that.
" Now Clove, before you go arguing or-", her father began but she cut him off.
" You think I'm just gonna go marry that guy?! I am NOT some toy you can just give away. Don't I even get a say in the matter. IT is MY life isn't it.", Clove fumed.
" Clove, listen. It's for the best. Now calm yourself down. I will not tolerate this. You will do as we say and you will marry him.", her father snarled.
Clove heard the door open and heard footsteps walking toward them. A tall, muscular man with short blonde hair and icy blue eyes stepped into the room. Clove recognized the Victor as and watched as he leaned against the wall, his eyes never leaving her.
" Good evening Cato.", Clove's mother greeted.
"Mrs. Villa.", Cato nodded in return. Clove shot up out of her seat and stormed out of the room without a word. She heard Clove's father yell at her to come back but she just walked out of the house without looking back. Clove began running towards Megan's house. Megan was walking back to Clove's house when she saw Clove running up the sidewalk towards her. The two girls stopped when they saw each other.
" Clove what's up?" Megan questioned.
Clove looked over her shoulder to see Cato and her parents coming out of the house and heading in their direction.
" I'll explain at our hangout, but we gotta get there. Now.", Megan looked over Cloves shoulder and understood. Megan grabbed Clove's wrist and the two broke out into a sprint. Cato and Clove's parents saw them running down the street and began chasing after them.
Soooooo what do you guys think? I'd really love reviews on this =) Chapter 2 will be up soon
